## Summary

This video demonstrates how to access and use Meta's Llama models, specifically Llama 3.3, through Groq Cloud's API. The presenter shows how to set up a free account, obtain an API key, and run a Python script to interact with the model.

### Key Points

- **Introduction to Llama Models** [0:01] — Llama is an open-source model by Meta that provides weights for download or cloud access.
- **Testing Llama Version** [0:38] — The current version used is 3.1, but Meta has released 3.2 and 3.3.
- **Using Groq Cloud** [1:06] — Groq Cloud offers free access to Llama models via API, with fast response times due to their LPUs.
- **Getting API Key** [1:32] — Sign up at console.groq.com to get a free API key for accessing Llama models.
- **Python Setup** [2:25] — Use the provided Python code with environment variables for the API key, and specify the model (e.g., Llama 3 8B).
- **Running the Script** [3:36] — Activate a virtual environment and run the Python script to see fast responses from Groq.

### Conclusion

Groq Cloud provides a fast and free way to access Llama models, making it easy to build applications with large language models.

## Transcript

hello guys U welcome to another episode
of AML talks so today we will be talking
about uh Lama models so llama is a like
know open source model by Facebook or
you can say Meta Meta so llama like know
provides the weights and everything so
you can either download the models if
you have enough resources uh if you
don't have resources and if you want to
try llama you can go to meta you can
click here so it will redirect you to
meta
and you can try it out so these llama
versions they that they are using
currently 3.1 so let's just ask it out
which llama
version are you currently
using see it's currently using 3.1 but
meta has released like 3.3 also so that
you can use directly like you know so
llama you can see llama has used uh
released 3.2 and 3.3 also so to use that
you can use cloud service called like
you know grock Cloud uh so let's go to
grock cloud and then we'll
see so here you can like you know uh you
can also test it out here whatever
versions you wish to test it out so
there are like Lama 3.1 3.2 so 3.3 is
also there but I think that is there
through the API part okay so uh what you
can do is like you can go to API Keys
like know go to like console. gro.com
and create an account there uh it's a
free thing right now and you can go and
create an API out there and that API
will give you access uh to llama new
latest versions so Lama 3.3 is also
available out there so after creating an
API key you need to go to the
documentation so in the documentation
part uh like you know you can see how
you can start working with like know Gro
API uh so there are like API differences
available out there so you can click on
API references or you can if you want to
just quick start here so you can go here
and from there select the python part
and copy it out okay and then you can
use it in your uh system so like you can
use it in collab or any any place you
wish to do or any ID that you have so I
am currently using vs code so I will
show in the vs code part so uh I've just
copied it out here and pasted it the
whole thing is pasted already so uh I've
added two extra things that were not
there import OS and import from EnV
import do uh load. EnV because these two
things are uh required to get this um
like know key that Gro API key so that
API key you need to have it in EnV file
from where you can uh call it out okay
and then it's just same like you know
everything else so here you need to
mention the model which model you are
using So currently this is a sample of
Lama 3 8 billion so you can if you wish
to use like any other thing uh like know
you can just uh check the model cards
out there and use it you can use mral or
anything so that's not an issue okay so
let's see like you
know uh how it works so what we will do
we will uh start with our virtual
environment to my virtual environment is
Gro EnV SL
bin SL
activate Okay now we need to just run it
python
gr Lama sorry Gro Lama
dop yeah so see how fast it is so Gro
Gro has like you know uh uh one of the
best lpus so they are having like a
language processing unit
out there and uh they have the fastest
response time uh of any of the cloud
that is available as of now uh so you
can see the how they have answered so
fast language models have become like an
increasing important today's landscape
to do their ability to quickly process
and generate large amount of natural
data so this is how it is okay so uh
like you know I hope you'll start
building something out of it and you can
go to gro.com sign up and get the key
and start using any of the LM that you
wish to use it there are multimetal
versions also that also you can use okay
I hope you have liked uh like my video
